As the Journal celebrates its 125th year, we look back on how the paper covered the biggest news events since the first paper – just four pages, priced at two cents – was published on July 8, 1889. (Subscribers in 1889 were offered an annual deal of just $5, though of course that didn’t include a digital edition.) Watch this space for how the paper covered wars, crashes, sinkings (we didn’t get the Titanic quite right), celebrations, inventions, triumphs and other notable events.
